We saw one hauling logs on the major road between Colombo and Kandy. In any case the elephants seem quite well looked after and have decent living spaces. They certainly seem to enjoy their time in the river (twice a day for two hours each time). Here is a short video highlighting our experience

Our Travels

Traveling together is our favorite pastime. We love exploring new places, witnessing history in action, and learning about people and their cultures. We have been very fortunate to travel, together, to six continents, more than 100 countries, all 50 American states, all 10 Canadian provinces, dozens of world capitals and many amazing national parks. This blog is a series of short stories about some of our favorite adventures.
